Audi a 6 - 6 speed gearbox.

Out of curiosity, What transaxle does the R8 use? It's a mid-engine layout, like the GTM. And handles a good bit of torque. If I were going with an Audi gear box, I'd probably look at a box that was designed to be used in the same way that I intend to use it. The Audi A6 is a nice car, but it's not a high horsepower ground-pounder. S6 maybe... But not the A6. I'd be curious to know the price compared to the Mendeola 6 spd, Ricardo 6 spd, or Porsche G96/96. I wonder if Roger Brown and Erik Johnson work with these at California Motorsports?

The r8 uses the Lamborghini unit. It would be cool to try a v10 or v12 in a GTM but something tells me it would be more trouble then it's worth. The world is your oyster at that price point. For 25k there are plenty of transaxles for the GTM.

That's true. I had completely forgotten that the Gallardo and the R8 are "cousins". And you're right; at that price point, it wouldn't make sense to use in the GTM. With that said, I still don't know that I would use a straight A6 transaxle. I did take a few minutes to go to the web site mentioned above, and from what I read, their upgrades allow for up to 800 horse power. If that's so, then I would imagine it would work well in the GTM as long as the shipped price makes sense.

Do these boxes have a starter "pocket" mount that would work with the LSx style engines?
And Also, is there currently an adapter plate on the market that allows the LSx engines and the Audi gearboxes to be used together?
What clutch would you use?

I make the adapters to use the Audi transaxles with the LS series engines. PM me for details.
